How can I do a lateral transfer to Near East University? What are the lateral transfer conditions?

Lateral Transfer According to the Central Placement Score:
It is a lateral transfer method that is evaluated according to the scores the student received in the year he/she entered regardless of the conditions needed for this success. According to the regulation, students who have been placed at a university in Turkey or the TRNC with a central score and are still registered can apply. The central placement scores obtained in the year of registration must be equal to or higher than the base points realized in that year of the program to which the transfer is desired. It is possible to apply for a lateral transfer to any program with a sufficient base score. Applications can be made in all classes, including the English Preparatory School. Students can benefit from this type of lateral transfer only once. In summary:
